That could work. You'd need to block the fuel inlet(s) and you'd need a TPS sensor adapted to your carb. The tune would be a bit more difficult. Enough so, that, if I were using a carb as a TB, I'd probably just go speed density and skip the MAF altogether.

Glad to see the pictures are back! Any idea why?

[mongocanfly]

I've been wondering about pics as well....I'm not seeing the pb crap anymore anywhere.....

[gringoloco]

Shhhhhh... we shouldn’t mention it, else they may disappear again... Save ‘em while you can.

dayj1, I ran across your thread in the middle of receiving ordered parts for the same type build (just a couple nights ago). I love the way you did the MAP on the TB!! My one question is this; what did you do with your Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor? My tune is a speed density closed loop. On newer MAF sensors, the IAT is a part of that component.....based on my research.

Your thread has helped enormously, thank you. I plan on doing my MAP just like you did.

Below is a pic of the factory location of my IAT. Help

Thanks Mike

Thanks for the compliments! My IAT was built into the MAF, but you could just put it in the base of the breather (with the sensor element inside the breather). The factory IAT grommet should even work for a clean install.

[ls1nova71]

ItHis truck has a MAF sensor mounted under the Intake so the IAT is mounted in that. On mine I went SD so I added the sensor to the underside of the air cleaner.

[Dads79GMC]

I truly appreciate the quick response!!! I think I've got it figured out now The grommet recommendation is a great idea!!! I had another question but just had a senior moment!!! Thanks Mike

[Dads79GMC]

Perfect! What I'm doing is in the 78 link below....critiques are welcome. Thanks for the help fella's. Mike

[ls1nova71]

I tried to find a pic of mine but cant find one. I took an IAT out of a late 90's gm car and put it in a grommet like Jonathan mentioned.

[Dads79GMC]

Now I remember! How are your truck injectors working in the fuel rail and intake. I did the same thing as you and cut-down the LS1 brackets. Great idea! Mike

The injectors worked fine. I think I had to pop the plastic caps off the end to get them to slip into the intake, but it's been so long I can't remember.

[Dads79GMC]

I’m a self taught gearhead. So, I know the injector bottoms out in the intake, then I slightly brought it back ever so slightly. So the end cap comes off and the injector, then should protrude through the base of the intake? Thanks Mike

[mongocanfly]

yep Jonathon...you removed the black plastic end...at least that's what you told me to do on mine....haha

As long as it seals on the o ring, you're good (at least from a no-leak perspective). But, in some intakes, the cap on the end of the truck injector stops it from pushing into the intake far enough to seal. So you have to remove the caps. They'll pull of with a pair of pliers.

Thanks for the reminder!

I appreciate all the help!! Thanks Mike

Wow, I really enjoyed reading this. Style and taste are individual, but combined with ingenuity, the appeal is universal. I hope to see more on this truck. Thanks for sharing.

[Captainfab]

I really like what you did with your truck build.....nice job

[72GreenMonster]

Joining the swap community but the simplicity and fabrication is top notch.
Tell us your really a 🚀 scientist and if not your work and detail is worthy of one. Thanks for sharing. My swap may never match up but the bar has been set. Next read is lsnova.
Thanks again

I'm not a rocket scientist, but I do work for the folks who put the first man on the moon. Thanks for the kind words.

LS1Nova your PM box is full
I have a question for you!

[mattfranklin]

Wow! Beautiful work. The vision, the fab, and the pics. Everything top notch.

[chev-obsession]

What exhaust manifolds did you use?

Just wanted you to know this thread is a giver. I’ve used it twice in the last week, once plumbing fuel lines and once cutting radiator hoses. Thanks!
